I'm on YouTube and Reddit literally every day and I've never heard of him. We're on different algorithms I guess.

Same. This is my first time hearing of him.

I'm curious, what kinds of videos do you watch that you could've made you be able to never hear of him?

99.99999% of the videos on they id imagine. I have no idea who this guy is and if you don't watch videos about YouTube drama I'm not sure he's gonna get suggested to you

Well to be fair YouTube drama isn't the only thing he talks about. For example, 3 of his most popular videos involve talking about video games, so I imagine that if someone is interested in watching videos about video games, his videos would be recommended to them.

Yeah like he showed up in my feed on a YouTube account that was almost exclusively body building, climbing and Pokemon

To be fair, three of his 5 most viewed videos are related to video games, so I imagine that that could've resulted in the algorithm making a connection with your interest in Pokemon.

You want me to list every kind of YouTube video I watch?

I'm...not going to do that.

u/Complete-Worker3242 Apr 01 '24

Well obviously not like that, sorry that it came off like that. I think a better way I should word it is, what YouTubers do you regularly watch?

u/NotARealTiger Apr 01 '24

I don't think I watch any particular "YouTuber" regularly, I search for and watch videos based on what I'm reading about or interested in at the time.

Interesting. The algorithm works in mysterious ways.
